Looking back at President Obama’s legacy, the Council on Foreign Relation’s Micah Zenko added up the defense department’s data on airstrikes and made a startling revelation: in 2016 alone, the Obama administration dropped at least 26,171 bombs. This means that every day last year, the US military blasted combatants or civilians overseas with 72 bombs; that’s three bombs every hour, 24 hours a day. While most of these air attacks were in Syria and Iraq, US bombs also rained down on people in Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Somalia and Pakistan. That’s seven majority-Muslim countries. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/09/america-dropped-26171-bombs-2016-obama-legacy bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

The question I put forth is, "How could people who are (rightly) outraged at the travel ban have remained silent when those very same people's countries were being bombed with alacrity?" Along those same lines, where, pray tell, does one imagine all those refugees came from and why? Iraq War? Libyan bombings? "Assad must go"? But since you brought Bernie up, who was it, again, who voted for the Iraq invasion and who voted against? bcnu, Mikem It's mourning in America again.

Now, you can indulge in some prime angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin horseshit about how Bernie wouldn't have authorised as many drone strikes, but fact is: innocents were always going to die, whether the person signing off is an old fat white man with a wig, an old fat white man without a wig, or an old not-so-fat woman with frankly great hair. It sucks, if you're on the receiving end of that high-quality made-in-America ordnance. But that's just where US foreign policy is, these days.
